Hi David!

Good to hearing from you. I negleted my duties and failed
to send you the message about the Prima mailing list ( it's live'n'kicking
again ).
But seems you found it by yourself.

Concerning your two other letters:

prigraph is just the same gbm library. It was tested and proved working on
win32
and os/2, but not on unix - although there should be no obstacles to use it
on unix.
We have deliberately refused to work it out under unix by that simple
reason that
gbm is no longer supported by its author. Good replacement seems to be MNG
or something
like that, but that requires time, again... Anyway, under unix prima can
work with
XBM, GIF and JPG formats ( if it finds libgif and libjpeg ).

BTW, if you ever be curious
about win32+prigraph, follow this:
http://www.prima.eu.org/download/gbm.html.

About GP.t: Although I would be interested to look at it's failure
reason ( you can make it more verbose by doing:
  cd test
  perl Tester.pl -v GP.t
) along with xdpyinfo output, I doubt I can fix it immediately - primarily
because almost every test failure reveals some internal bug, and rarely
the bug of test script itself. Nevertheless, if I can reproduce this, I'll
do my best.

Sincerely,
  Dmitry
